Metadata: Nitrate, silicate, and phosphate data from Ships of Opportunity in the North Atlantic 2002-2017
Abstract:
Seawater samples were collected from a series of ships of opportunity transiting between the UK and the Caribbean. Crossings occured almost monthly between May 2002 and October 2017. Roughly 90-100 samples were collected for each return journey from the ships' underway system and were frozen immediately for subsequent laboratory analysis. Nitrate, silicate, and phosphate levels were measured from these seawater samples. This work was funded by 5 different projects over the years - The Carbon variability studies by ships of opportunity (2000-2003), CARBOOCEAN FP6 (2001-2009), Carbochange (2011-2015), FixO3 (2013-2016), and NERC Greenhouse Gas most recently.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 7846 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Nitrate, silicate, and phosphate data from Ships of Opportunity in the North Atlantic 2002-2017 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048shipsopportunity_atlantic |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 64174d39dcf956969d7ce3eea23d365a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED6870 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-05-02 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-10-08 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created by scientists at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for archival and discoverability. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC. |
